Ian,
When I first loss my sight I could not touch type. I have big hands and
could reach the Right CNTL and the letter A with one hand. I got a program
called Typing Tutor. The program has its own voice, so JAWS is not needed.
After working with the program, I would think about where the letter was
that I wanted to type. As time progressed, the keys became automatic to
hit. This is the old adage that it takes practice. I don't know what the
cost is, but as I remember, it was around $29. Emails with using spell
check are a good way to practice.

Subject: [VICUG-L] touch-typing tutor that works with Jaws
Hi all,
I know this has often been raised in the past, but can anyone recommend,
based on personal experience, a current free or open source package that
will help a new jaws user on Windows 7 develop his typing skills.
Best wishes
Ian Francis
